A week in Nepal

We flew into Kathmandu and after an overnight of noise and dust, got into the mountainous city of Pokhara.

A 4 day trek was the highlight of our Nepal holiday:

Highlight 1 – My idea of fitness was put to shame and how

Highlight 2 – The locals could go to any ‘heights’ to please palates of trekking tourists

Highlight 3 – We were possibly the only Indian trekkers in those 4 days

Highlight 4 – An obvious highlight but to re-emphasize, the snow covered mountains were breathtaking (in more ways than one).

Highlight 5 – With a disciplined eating schedule (no snacking, none at all) and great deal of physical exertion, my body got into a wonderful detox & purge mode. And for the best interest of you, dear reader, we shall not delve into that any further.

Our schedule went thus:

Day 0 & 1 – Kathmandu & Pokhara

Day 2 – Nayapul to Ulleri via Tikhegundha

Day 3 – Ghorepani and Poonhill

Day 4 – Tadapani

Day 5 – Downhill to Ghandruk

Day 6 & 7 – Pokhara & Kathmandu

Detailed account coming soon; some pics of the beautiful country below.
